"Hurry up, Index!"
Grabbing Index, Ruiko ran toward the research institute for all she was worth. Right now she was kind of regretting leaving the lab so early. If they were still there, then Fang Zheng would definitely be able to protect Index. Maybe she'd just been way too relaxed, and that's why she ran into something like this.
Back to the point, who the hell were those guys anyway? She'd originally thought they were just delinquents from the Armed Powerless Group, but that guy just now… was he an Ability User?
Then why attack Index?
Ruiko's head was a mess of questions, but she still dragged Index forward at a run. However, just as the two of them rounded a corner, the tall figure in front of them forced them to stop in their tracks.
"Oh, sorry about that."
The two-meter-tall red-haired man with a cigarette in his mouth watched Ruiko and Index with a cruel little smile, then reached out his hand.
